the area of the trapezoid would be a = 708; if following that 8 m is the area, 110 m is the base, and 12 m is the height (apologizes if this is the answer you are not looking for)

An observer (O) spots a plane flying at a 42° angle to his horizontal line of sight. If the plane is flying at an altitude of 15

Answer:

D. 22,417 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Fine the diagram in the attachment for proper elucidation. Using the SOH, CAH, TOA trigonometry identity to solve for the distance (x) from the plane (P) to the observer (O), the longest side x is the hypotenuse and the side facing the angle of elevation is the opposite.

Hypotenuse = x and Opposite = 15,000feet

According to SOH;

$sin 42^0 = \frac{Opposite}{Hypotenuse} \\\\Sin42^0 = \frac{15000}{x}\\ \\x = \frac{15000}{sin42^0}\\\\ \\$
